T0 0. whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM G. FLINT, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Jose, in the county of Santa Clara and State of California, have invented a new Doll Novelty, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a combination of lead, wood, cloth, and cardboard, making a doll novelty which upon being turned over on any side will raise itself without any as-- I attain these objects by the mechsistance'. anism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a front view of the doll standing upright. Fig. 2 is a front view of the doll Fig. 3 is a view of the center and the lower part of the body.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The head, shoulders, and arms can be made of rubber, compressed paper, papier-mach, or, as I prefer, cardboard B.

The dress can be made of paper, raw cotton, or, as I prefer, fabric cloth 0.

The body W can be made of compressed" paper, rubber, paper-mach, or, as I prefer it, wood.

The metal that is inclosed in the lower I. part of the body W can be of any kind of metal, or, as I prefer it, lead L.

The head, shoulders, and arms are made of one piece of cardboard B.

The dress 0 is secured by means of glue to the shoulders.

The lower part and the upper part of the doll are secured together by placing the lower edge of the cardboard B, that forms the shoule ders, head, and arms, in the slit S in the stem and secured by means ofiglue, as shown in Fig. 2.

'What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1 In a self-righting figure the combination of an ovoid base provided with a heavy weight below its center of gravity, a slitted stem attached to said base, and a doll fastened in said slit to the stem, said doll and stem being too light to overbalance said weighted base, substantially as described.
